Student Logins and Laptop Helpful Hints

Student Logins

This wiki page will give you helpful information about student log ins. Students can log in to the laptops or desktop computer using the following log in pattern:

Name: firstinitiallastname (first initial + lastname)
Password: firstthreelettersoftheirLASTNAME4digitsofbirthday (first 3 letters of last name + 4 digits of birthday which means month + day)
Jan=01
Feb=02
March=03
April=04
May=05
June=06
July=07
August=08
Sept=09
Oct=10
Nov=11
Dec = 12


As an example - here is how 'Thomas Miller' would log in:

Name: tmiller
Password: mil0315 (Thomas' birthday is March 15th)

Log in reminders:
  • Remind students that we never share our passwords
  • No spaces allowed - BIG heads up: a student login may NOT work simply because the student has entered a 'space' in front of their name or password.
  • All logins are lower case
  • The names were entered based on the class lists. so, if a student's name is 'Anthony' but everyone calls hime Tony - refer to the class list; he would have been entered as 'Anthony'
  • You will receive via email login 'exceptions' for your class. Siblings with the same first initial will cause duplicate logins so one of the student logins will change.
